Outcall Massage in Bangkok: How It Works, What It Costs, What to Expect

"Outcall massage" simply means the therapist comes to you instead of you going to a shop. In Bangkok it's the easiest way to get a proper massage after a long flight or a long day, without going back out into the traffic. This guide explains how it works, what it should cost, and what a professional service looks like.

How outcall massage works

You message a service, say where you are and what you'd like, and a therapist comes to your hotel room, condo or house. At Sontaya the steps are:

1. Pick a massage and a time. Thai, oil, aromatherapy, deep tissue, Swedish, coconut oil or four hands, for 60, 90 or 120 minutes. You can book for right now or for later tonight.
2. Tell us where you are. Hotel name and room number, or your condo and floor. In central Bangkok a therapist usually arrives in 30–45 minutes.
3. We confirm the price in chat. Nothing is added later.
4. Your therapist arrives in uniform with towels, a sheet to protect the bed, oil and balm. You pay on arrival, then relax.

Booking takes about a minute on the booking form, or you can message us on WhatsApp, LINE or WeChat.

What it costs in 2026

Prices at Sontaya start at ฿900 for a 60-minute Thai massage and ฿1,000 for a 60-minute oil massage. Ninety minutes is ฿1,200 for either, and two hours is ฿1,400 (Thai) or ฿1,500 (oil). Aromatherapy, deep tissue, Swedish and coconut oil sit between ฿1,000 and ฿2,000 depending on length. The full list is on the prices page.

Travel is free for the first 7 km from our base on Sukhumvit 71, which covers Thonglor, Ekkamai, Phra Khanong, On Nut and most of Sukhumvit. Further out we charge by distance and tell you the amount before you confirm.

Outcall vs. a massage shop

A shop is cheaper per hour, and if you enjoy the walk, go. Outcall wins when:

• You've just landed and don't want to move.
• It's late. Most shops close by midnight; we're open 24 hours.
• You want to shower and go straight to sleep afterwards.
• You're staying in a condo away from the tourist streets.

What a professional service looks like

Bangkok has many "outcall" listings that are not massage at all. A real massage service will:

• Show its prices openly, in baht, per person.
• Send a trained therapist in uniform, with her own towels and sheet.
• Confirm the total before anyone travels.
• Be happy to work in a room with your partner or friend present.

Sontaya is a therapeutic massage service and nothing else. Our therapists are trained, wear a uniform, and will end a session if a guest is not respectful.

Tips for a better session

• Have a warm shower first if you can. Muscles loosen faster.
• Tell your therapist about pressure: light, medium or firm. She'll adjust.
• Say where it hurts. Shoulders and lower back are the usual suspects after a flight.
• Give yourself ten quiet minutes afterwards before you check your phone.
